What compute_reinforced_soil_wall does on Civilquants
AI agents invoke compute_reinforced_soil_wall to trigger actions in Civilquants. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why compute_reinforced_soil_wall is rated High
This tool executes a parametric estimating calculation based on specified inputs. While it does not create permanent data structures or delete records, it performs a non-trivial computation whose output depends on the arguments provided and could be used to generate cost estimates or engineering specifications that influence downstream decisions.
From the tool's definition Calling this tool performs a parametric computation (compute_reinforced_soil_wall) that generates Bills of Quantities for civil engineering assemblies.

The rule that runs compute_reinforced_soil_wall safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Civilquants, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For compute_reinforced_soil_wall, this is the rule to start with:
compute_reinforced_soil_wall stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Civilquants, apply this rule, and every compute_reinforced_soil_wall call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about compute_reinforced_soil_wall
Paid tier only. Calling this without an authenticated CivilQuants account returns TIER_INSUFFICIENT — sign up at https://civilquants.com/pricing or use the free-tier alternative compute_cantilever_wall. Reinforced soil retaining wall (RSW) using granular fill reinforced with horizontal layers of geogrid or steel tie strips, with one of four facing systems: precast concrete panels (Reinforced Earth™ / VSL Retained Earth style), segmental modular blocks (Allan Block / Keystone), wraparound soft face (vegetated or biodegradable mat), or Terramesh-style steel mesh face (re-using the S29 gabion vocabulary). The SECOND member of the earth_structures L1 leaf (after gabion_wall at S29), the SIXTH member of the wall family, the FIFTH structural system, and the FIRST wall family member with a face-area-primary measurement basis (m² of face + m² × layers of geogrid, both m²; every prior wall body was m³). 17th use of the classed-then-legacy attribute discrimination pattern. Routes via four new WorkCategory entries (RSW_FACING_PANEL, RSW_MODULAR_BLOCK, RSW_WRAPAROUND_FACE, RSW_TIE_STRIP) plus the GEOGRID category (whose handler is gap-filled in CESMM4/NRM2/MMHW this session) plus re-use of GABION_BASKET on the STEEL_MESH_FACE variant. Codes: CESMM4 E.8.4-8 (Class E Earthworks §E.8 stabilisation), NRM2 5.23-27 (Group 5 Excavating and filling), MMHW 600.15-19 (Series 600 Earthworks; SHW Cl. 624 reinforced earth retaining structures), and SMM7 D41.3/D41.4/D41.5/D20.21/D20.14.2 (D41 — Crib walls / gabions / REINFORCED EARTH — the NAMED home, now serving TWO wall families). Eight variant presets exercise all four RSWFacing values (2/2/2/2 split). Example params: wall_height=6 m (0.5–12), wall_length=40 m (5–200), depth_into_fill_m=4.5 m (0.35–15). Example call: {"params": {"wall_height": 6, "wall_length": 40, "depth_into_fill_m": 4.5}, "standard": "MMHW"}. Omitted parameters use sensible engineering defaults. Pass deliverables=["xlsx","dxf","pdf"] (any subset) to also receive one-shot download URLs in the same call: Excel BoQ (both tiers, watermarked free) plus the dimensioned DXF (CAD) and PDF drawing sheets (paid tier). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Civilquants MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
compute_reinforced_soil_wall accepts 4 parameters: params, standard, output_mode, deliverables. Required: params. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Civilquants MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_reinforced_soil_wall: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Civilquants. Nothing to install.
compute_reinforced_soil_wall is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compute_reinforced_soil_wall rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for compute_reinforced_soil_wall. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
compute_reinforced_soil_wall is provided by the Civilquants MCP server (https://api.civilquants.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
